Mane Control

MacHatter1Thread Content27
Get it for macOS

Switch Ponytail between Off, Lite, Full, and Ultra in one click, so how hard the agent works matches the task in front of you. A horse button beside the thread composer lists the four modes with a line on what each one does, and keeps the active mode in view. Picking a mode sends the /ponytail command for you, and those commands collapse into compact status pills in the transcript instead of stray slash-command lines. Needs the Ponytail skill installed for the thread's provider, and the control stays disabled until it finds one.

Overview

What you get

A horse button sits beside the thread composer so you can switch Ponytail without typing a slash command. Open the menu, pick Off, Lite, Full, or Ultra, and the matching /ponytail command goes into the thread straight away. The button keeps the active mode in view.

Mode-command messages in the transcript render as compact Ponytail · Mode status pills, with the real command still available underneath.

Requirements

Ponytail must be installed and available for the thread's provider. Mane Control accepts the Ponytail plugin skill, a user skill, or a registry install such as skills.sh. When Ponytail is missing, the control stays disabled and mode changes are blocked.

Agent TVSee what every running agent is doing, and which one needs you, from a live wall at the foot of the sidebar. Each tile shows the tool call in flight, the files touched in the last minute, a 60-second activity trace, and how much of its context window the thread has used. Threads blocked on a question or an approval are marked and sorted to the top. Pop the wall out as a monitor you can drag anywhere in BB. The bb agent-tv status command gives terminals and agents the same feed, and nothing leaves your BB server.64AnimationPlay technical diagrams as a sequence of beats, then export a looping HTML page. Open a .scene.json file to get a stage and a timeline: drag a step boundary to retime it, or click a part to quote its state into chat. Agents write the same JSON with ordinary file edits. GIF and MP4 export are not included; HTML is the shareable output. Requires BB 0.43 or later.22RecapGenerates concise, display-only summaries for BB threads on demand or after they become idle.149Composer PredictionsSuggests the message you're likely to send next as ghost text in the empty composer, one Tab from an editable draft. Nothing is sent for you: Tab only fills an empty message box, and typing, pasting or Escape hides the suggestion until the conversation moves on. Suggestions are saved across restarts and checked against the conversation before they reappear, so an unchanged thread costs no new request. Every reply in a thread you've opened costs one request in a hidden helper thread, which receives up to 48,000 characters of recent messages and tool output.New

Generative UITurns agent replies into charts, diagrams, maps, plans and forms you can use, right in the chat. Agents choose from 86 components on their own, with no setup: sliders and filters recompute in the page, and buttons, choices and forms put your answers in your message, which reaches the agent when you send it. Test reports, logs, lint errors and coverage files render as their own components instead of pasted text, and a thread's changes, commits, pull request and workers are read live from BB. Adds about 6,400 tokens of instructions to sessions whose replies you read, and looks up photos, places and map tiles on Wikimedia Commons, Wikipedia, Photon and OpenStreetMap unless you turn web lookups off. Relies on BB internals, so a BB update can show the blocks as code until the plugin catches up.ComicBit320
